Pedlar Palmer Here is a good article on Pedlar Palmer, which might give some a quick summary of the book. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/97853128?searchTerm=pedlar palmer&searchLimits= Here is a short article about his trial where he was sentenced to five years imprisonment for punching and killing a man in a train. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/19406996?searchTerm=pedlar palmer&searchLimits= here is a brief excerpt of him losing to Jim Driscoll, although he sounds out of condition and well past it by this fight. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/81393115?searchTerm=pedlar palmer&searchLimits= This one contains an interesting excuse for his first round loss to terry McGovern. Not sure i would buy that excuse. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/121500995?searchTerm=pedlar palmer&searchLimits=
